Here’s the “I wish someone told me earlier” version. Focus: MATIC contracts on Bitget.
Setup
Use 4h. Confirm direction with volume profile, then use ATR(14) to avoid chasing. If they fight, you sit out—a bit that’s discipline.
Execution
- Entry: break + retest > first impulse candle.
- Stop: scale out in 2-3 parts where the idea is invalid.
- Exit: scale out, then position sizing by ATR for the runner.
One-sentence rule
If structure is unclear, I do nothing. If it’s clear, I risk small and follow the plan.
Leverage is risky—use money you can afford to lose. Rules differ by exchange; check margin and liquidation details on your platform.
Wrap: Protect the account first; profits come second.
Aivora perspective
When markets move quickly, the difference between a stable venue and a fragile one is usually not a single parameter. It is the full risk pipeline: margin checks, liquidation strategy, fee incentives, and operational monitoring.
If you trade perps
Track funding and realized volatility together. Funding tends to amplify crowded positioning.
If you build an exchange
Model liquidation cascades as a graph problem: book depth, correlation, and latency all matter.
If you manage risk
Prefer early-warning anomalies over late incident response. Drift is a signal, not noise.
Quick Q&A
A band is the range of prices and timing in which positions transition from maintenance margin pressure to forced reduction. Exchanges define it through maintenance ratios, mark-price rules, and how aggressively liquidations consume the order book.
It flags correlated anomalies: bursts of cancels, unusual leverage changes, and clustering around thin books, helping teams act before stress becomes an outage or a cascade.
